"where will i be staying at?" Alvilda said as she looked up at hi, her eyes seemed to be watering up, her bottom lip quivered a bit. She didn't saw anything bout celebrating his birthdy an more. Her hand reached up and touched the spot that Bubble was at, she looked at her younger sister and Drae not really saying anything to them since she was trying to get to know Shin better since she was going to marry him.

Hotaru foung the last couple, placing them both into the carriage before he shut the door on them and climbed into the driver's seat. He clicked his tongue, snapping the leather some, the draft horses moved forward towards the Kurai home. "They can pissed at me all they want but wasting time is not something that i do." he said bluntly into the air between him and Janice, not wantting to go to the house in compete silence.

Shin patted her head somewhat in comfort. "It'll be alright." he teased somewhat before tilting his head. "Um, I think you can have your own room. Or, you can sleep in my room with me." The last part was sort of hesitant, since he wasn't sure if she would like that idea.

Janice almost snorted as she suppressed a laugh. "Well, I can see that." she said, looking out the window. "At least we can be on our way."she commented.

"It's weird that we lived so close to each other and never met." She said, walking beside him and thinking."Atleast, I don't think I've ever seen you before now." She said, blushing."I'm pretty sure I would remember you." She smirked,"I'm surprised our parents never had us meet when we were younger." She said, looking around at all the stuff on the floor, all of her sisters things.

"If they want to waste there time in the carriage then fine but i just want to get this over with." Hotaru mumbled as he pulled his last ciggerate out, lighting it to smoke once more. He glanced over at Januce, before he turnned his attention back to where he was driving, making sure that he wasn't going to get into a wreak because he wasn't paying attention.

"Are you sure i can have a room of my own? After all if i am by my self you won't know if i am resting or not." Alvilda said to him as she teased him a little, but she was serious, if she was alone then she was going to do anything that she wantted, and she didn't see why they couldn't sleep n the same room since they were going to get married anyways and would have to move into his room after wards. She wiped the tears out of her eyes as she looked almost longingly out the window next to Shin, it seemed as if she was looking at him that way.

"I suppose so." she said, nodding. She tilted her head somewhat though. "Did you have anything to bring?" she asked.

Shin thought about it and shrugged. "Well, you'll move into my room then." he said, shaking his head. It would be a bad idea to leave her alone. He'd just have to clean up his room a bit. "Though, you're not allowed to clean it." he warned, blinking somewhat as he glanced at her, He raised an eyebrow, wondering if she was looking at him with that expression, or if it was just playing around.

Ace shrugged. "Who knows. Maybe when we were very young, once in a while we met." he said. It could be a possibility. "I always used to sneak out and cause mischief and, just be a kid when younger." he said, tilting his head as he led her to the back. "What did you do?"

"I did anything that my parents didn't like. I would sneak out, and still do." She grinned." But I would pretty much just leave the house in the middle of the night and go pretty much anywhere. And then during the day I would cause mischief all over the house." She said, looking towards him."So, whats the worse thing you've ever done?You don't have to share it..I'm just curious."

Ace smirked somewhat. "Elaborate on that a bit, since I've done a couple bad things. All in various categories." he answered. It was true, he'd done so many things, some of them he was never proud of, but others that were just plain too amusing to Not say anything about it. He got away with most things though.

"Well, if you combined all of those things that you did, together in one huge list." She smirked."Then what would be number one? It doesn't really matter what category.." She said, her hand trailing down the arm he had given her to hold and she decided to ust hold his hand,entertwining their fingers instead of the regular, 'side' holding hands technique. That way annoyed her and she felt closer to the person she liked when their hands were entertwined.

"Why am i not allowed to clean it?" Alvilda asked him as she got a quizzical look on her face, she ran her fingers through her hair as she pulled it over her shoulder, soon she was playing with it once more, Bubbles poked his head out the top of her shirt, slithering out of it and down into her lap. She quickly picked the snake up, narrowing her eyes at him, before she placed him in Shin's lap, smiling as she watched how the two of them actted to each other.

"Just a bag of clothes...mainly suits." Hotaru said to her as he turnned into the Kurai household, he knew that he had most likly caused his wounds to bleed even more since he had to pick up some tall and heavily people. "I take it that you don't like touching blood." he said to her as he slowed the pace of the horses, he then pulled the carriage to a stop out in front of the house.

"Hm, well alright then." She tilted her head, slightly confused about that. If she didn't like touching blood, she'd have just stayed away from him when he had been bleeding instead of helping wrap him up. "I don't mind it, why do you say that?" she asked before waiting for him to get out first.

Shin smirked. "Cause you're going to be resting. And, I have to clean it. Or let Janice do it." he said chuckling somewhat. Though he was pretty good with tidying up sometimes.

Ace thought about it, taking a moment before he finally thought of one. He grinned somewhat. "Well, the worst thing I've done is shave Shin's hair off when he was still a little kid. That, or burn down half the house." he said, shrugging. The first part was more amusing to him, but it was still bad since he'd gotten in so much trouble for it.

Katie laughed." I did that to Alvildas horse when we were younger..and god horses look ugly with no hair." She smiled."So what do you do on a normal..daily basis?" She asked, walking out the back door, she looked arond." It is pretty.." She said softly, looking towards the gazibo.

Ace chuckled a little, not doubting her word. "I can imagine. Though, how long did it take you to shave the horse?" The back was a couple acres, lush green grass, trees, the gazebo on a small hill. It was a pretty simple one but it was still nice since it had some vines around the sides. "On a daily basis, I just hang around the house, swim sometimes, go into town and play cards with a couple guys." And visit the bars to flirt sometimes. This he failed to mention. To the side, near the house was a smaller house with two rose bushes on the sides of it. "That's the maid's house." he said, nodding to the house.

"You know, you are very bossy person." Alvilda said to him, but there was a smile on her face which ruined the effect of her words, turning them into a joke like she intended it. "Why don't you tell me about you....i am not good with asking questions...." she said to him a little sheepishly, she then laughed and made her way out of the carriage, waitting for Shin to coe out also.

"For the fact that you don't want to touch my hair unless it is clean." Hotaru said to her as he shrugged his shoulders, it wasn't that he wantted her to touch it, it was just the fact that he wantted to get it over with then anything else, he stomped out his ciggerate as he ran another hand through his hair, as he climbed of the driver's seat and opened the carriage door for everyone to get out. He then moved back to the driver's seat and waitted for Janice to stand up, and once she did and was close to the edge he would just grab her by the waist and place her on the ground.

Katie thought for a moment."Only about 20 minutes, the butlers helped." She smirked." So, you still never fully answered my question about if you have any girls that you had to leave for this." She said, obviously wanting to know about it. She just wanted to know where she fell on his list really."Cus, you don't have to be with me if you don't want to..we could always just keep it casual." She said, dropping his hand,she acted like she was looking at some flowers instead of just dropping it.

Janice laughed somewhat as she shook her head, standing up to get out. "Nah, It's just, the blood dries, so it can lessen the softness or something of the hair." she said. She'd had experiences with that before. If left on the skin though, all it really did was soften it and turn it pink.

Shin laughed as well. "I know." he stated before getting down after her. "Well, I have a sweet tooth that rivals all my brothers, I hate anything bitter, and um.. I don't like alcohol." he said for starters.

Ace shook his head, not letting her drop her hand as he gripped it somewhat. "I was a flirt I suppose, but nothing very serious. I did have a relationship with this one girl from town, though, it was kept secret. We were decent. The girl understood, and she is now moving on." he said, shrugging. It was only to ease his boredom honestly, but it had been getting a little serious. Luckily he hadn't been too attached.

She turned around, feeling him grip her hand."Okay.."She said, feeling better a little."Okay, so am I allowed to ask you anything..because I have a question you probably won't want to answer." She said, raising her eye brow a little. She started to walk up the small hill towards the gazebo, smirking a little as she dragged him behind her. When they made it to the gazebo, she went to the railing and sat down on it." Well, I can see why your parents would want the wedding here."

"I love to cook, and exspecially bake, i don't really drink alcohol but when i do it isn't enough to get me drunk or to get a buzz. I always need a person that could take charge and force me to stop doing things when my healthy is involved, and one that is stronge enough when i need him to be. What about the girl that you imagined or wantted?" Alvilda said to him as she smiled even more and laughed some, she walked into his home and picked up her cedar trunk, waitting for him to show her where is room was at so that she could place her things into it, she even knew she wasn't suppose to be carrying her trunk since it was so heavy but she did it anyways out of habit.

"So where am i staying at since you know this place like the back of your hand." Hotaru said to her as he picked up by her waist and placed her on the ground, he never did it with Katie because she always hit him when he tried to so he just stopped. He then walked to the back of the carriage and began to take everything down and place inside of the entryway so others could grab thier stuff and take it to thier room.

Janice almost grabbed his arms but resisted as she was placed back down. It always surprised her when she was picked up, mostly cause she didn't think she was that light. She went to grab the wine box as she nodded to the house. "I'll show ya." she told him as she started to walk to the door.

Shin nodded, grabbing the trunk away from her without giving her much of a choice. "Follow me. And, I never really had an ideal girl." he said, smirking somewhat. "I just wanted one who wouldn't be obsessive or anything." he commented before heading to the stairs.

Ace raised an eyebrow, leaning against the railing. "You can ask anything, I'll say if I'll answer or not." he said before nodding. "Yeah, it's big, and is a nice view."

"Are you a virgin? Because you seem like the kinda guy that isn't." She smirked, leaning back a little and hanging on to the pole of the gazebo."Yepp." She said, lifting up one of her hands to brush her bangs out of her face. she almost fell backwards but caught herself and started laughing."I'm a klutz." She grinned.

He laughed a little, both at the question and at her action. "It's fine. I'll try and catch you next time." he said smirking. To answer her question he smirked a bit more. "Your thought is correct. I'm not." he said, not really minding it. It wasn't that big of a deal to him, though some girls didn't seem to like it, others did. "Does it bother you?" He asked curiously.

"You never had a dreeam girl? Sorry to disappoint you, sadly i am obsessive and anything." Alvilda said to him as she laughed and took Bubbled from around his wrist so that he wouldn't get hurt in the process. "So tell me what your room looks like." she said to him as she followed him to his room, or she should call it thier room now, since she was going to share it with him.

"Okay." Hotaru said to her as he grabbed his suit case, place it on top of the wine case she was holding and taking it from her as he followed her into the house, deeming her not stronge enough to carry it even though she had carried at the Amaya house.

"Not really." She grinned."Someone in the relationship has to know how to do it, atleast...thats what our mom taught us." She said, smirking."I just wanted to know since were getting married in all." She said, turning around on the railing, trying to make sure she wouldn't fall again. She turned, looking at the flowers and vines on the side of it.

She blinked somewhat before glaring at him,"I can carry the case!" she called after him, following right after him as she tried to take it back from him. "Just because I'm a girl does not mean I'm weak." she said.

Shin chuckled, shaking his head. "You're going to see soon enough, so don't worry. And are you really? Are you the type that obsesses over her boyfriends whereabouts?" he asked curiously, nudging the door open to his room once they arrived. His was a little farther away from the other rooms, since he liked his privacy. And it had more secret passages than the others. His room was sort of different shape than the basic shapes since it had five corners instead of four. On it was a four poster bed, the sheets were a midnight blue and there was a wardrobe and a vanity desk, a seat, and a wide window that had some blue curtains covering it halfway. There were a couple of clothes that were scattered on the floor, but not too many. "My/your room." he said.

Ace smirked somewhat as he tilted his head. "So you're a virgin?" he asked. The roses were different colors, some red, yellow, pink and other colors. He closed his eyes for a moment as he looked at the sky. The clouds looked fluffy, and the day was sunny, almost like the storm last night never happened.

"Nope, just quoting my mother." She said, twirling a strand of her hair on her index finger."Does it bother you?" She asked, turning sideways and laying on the railing, it was big enough. She thought about if for a moment, she and Hotaru had 'been together' a few times, but he was the only guy, mostly since she had thought that she was going to marry him until the whole arranged marriage thing. Now he pissed her off and she was starting to fall for another guy.

He shrugged shaking his head. "Nah, so long as you don't sleep with anyone else while we're together, I'm fine." he said. He had suspected as much, so it wasn't something he was bothered by much. He'd done the same thing, if not been worse so he couldn't judge her.
